Man charged with intent to distribute synthetic marijuana

Crossing the center line led to a 23-year-old man's arrest Wednesday morning after police found a small amount of synthetic marijuana in his vehicle, according to court testimony.

Kenneth Duncan faced intent to distribute spice and crossing the center line charges during a Thursday morning Recorder's Court hearing. He was stopped near the intersection of 13th Street and 17th Avenue at about 1 a.m.

While searching Duncan's Toyota Camry, an officer told the court police found 1.8 grams of spice. Duncan told the court Thursday he was unaware the substance was synthetic marijuana, believing it to be hookah tobacco.

Judge Michael Cielinski set a $5,150 bond for Duncan's two charges.
